DO SANTA'S ELVES SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF?

First Reaction/First Glance
Can you imagine what it must be like to be an elf in Santa’s workshop? Millions of orders coming in, standard inventory items backordered, and worst of all, the recession has forced Santa to cut back their hours, forcing them to work that much harder.


The Learning Process
As orders are filled, tempers soar, and words are spouted, which creates bad feelings and sometimes lingering heartaches.

Santa’s elves know how to handle these pressure-packed situations. They perform at high levels year in and year out. Yet they realize they are all passionate about bringing smiles to their customers’ faces throughout the world, which provides for a healthy culture.


Improvement for the Future
We all have been there – hard feelings, differences of opinion, damaged friendships, and strained relationships at work.

This time of year is no different for you than it is for Santa’s elves so when stress gets you down, conflict arises, put yourself in a forgiving mode and remember what Santa says:

HO! HO! HO! Tis the season not to sweat the small stuff!

Merry Christmas everyone.
